I know that the move to HW for the Ruiz fight ? his career up. But gotdayum, in his heyday, no one was seeing Jones. Watch the clip and try to disagree.

lol yes he would because he was bigger 160 lbs on up. Floyd started at 130 lbs and Manny 116.... its not a realistic matchup
-
Weren't Mayweather and Jones trying to settle at a catchweight to fight tho?
-
I think Jones in his prime P4P would be able to ? with just about anybody imo even if his d was suspect
-
yeah jones owned the 90's.
but he was a light heavyweight -
Am I getting Alzheimer's? I could have sworn that Mayweather and Jones had an argument after one of Jones's fight as to how much it would cost to get the two of them in the ring. Maybe I'm thinking someone else.
-
In his prime RJJ had the fastest hands ever I think... its a ? shame what he has done to his legacy.

lmaooo c'mon bruh, you thinking about B-Quit -
Man that was a goat time for boxing
I remember when everybody was hyped for the rjj and trinidad super fight.....top 2 p4pers, light heavyweight and middleweight champs were gonna collide to see who was the best fighter
And then ? ass Hopkins ? ? up by beating Trinidad....and them the ? wanted a 50-50 split for the rematch with Roy even tho Roy beat him and was the faaaar bigger name but Hopkins balked and a 60-40 split so the super fight didn't happen until it was too ? late and was a travesty -
idk wtf t/s is talking bout tho

During that Reggie Johnson fight, where Jones hit him with the left hook straight right combination, I thought the tape skipped, even though it was live.
At the 0:30 mark -

dat combo he hit Vinnie PAz with was crazy... the body shot that broke Virgil Hills ribs was sick too. I forget the fighter but Roy hit one cat with a right hand and he was rollin on the ground like he was dead lol -
Who was Roy fighting when he broke both hands (I think)? I know he broke at least one, but duke wouldnt go down.
-
lmaooo watch this interview from after that Reggie Johnson fight, Roy did it all
Foretelling quote by Johnson at the end "He do a lot of things wrong but his handspeed make up for it" -
